DUN's weekly trade review shows that
the collapse of the wheat deal and conse-
quent failures have caused wide dis
turbance, but general reports of business
at nearly all points are highly encourag-
ing and the increasing prospects of good
crops adds to the prevailing confidence.
Large treasury disbursements are close
at hand and will relieve any temporary
monetary stringency. There were 1877
failures for the week, against 213 last
week.

THE MARKETS. -[Chicago, Mon.
day afternoon, June 27.]-Trading in all
kinds of grain showed decided activity
to-day over the close of last week or even
better than at any time since the great
collapse. The liberal shipments were
more than balanced by the good crop re-
ports, and prices were fractionally lower,
except for oats. Sellers by sample we're
doing better business, and on all sides
there were signs of revival of specula-
tive trade.
Wheat sold at still lower prices. June
sold at $50 and 684 cents. July open
ed at 693s cents after closing on Saturday
at $685. cents, and during the morning
session sold down to 6916 cents and back
to 693s cents. August closed at 721s
cents last week but opened at 7178 cents
and sold down to 711s cents and later
sold at 7l5s and 714 cents. September
sold between 1879 and 1879 cents. De-
cember sold within a narrow range at
1873 and 1875 cents, or about 4 cent
under Saturday.
Corn exhibited more life and strength,
and prices advanced 4@3s cent over the
closing figures of Saturday. The receipts
were moderate but shipments large, and
a decrease of 915,198 bushels was report
ed in the visible supply. There was less
pressure to sell and more to buy, and the
appreciation resulted. August opened at
81 cents sold to 374 cents and closed
at o'clock at the top. October closed
at 391S cents.
Oats. The usual dullness in oats
was broken to-day, and there was quite
active trading at a marked advance For
ten days oats for July, August and Sep
TENDER delivery have sold between 25 and
26 cents. Reports of dry weather and
other causes gave stronger feeling.

Mr. Matthew then gives a sketch OF the
train first run by him on the Mohawk and Hud-

one with which the public was made familiar
at the centennial by the sketch of locomotive
and four coaches, in one Of which Thurlow

The Limekiln Club.

The secretary Of the state board of health
Of Illinois wanted to know what progress, if
any, the colored people of Michigan were
making in sanitary matters. Brother Gard
ner said he would like general discussion Of
the subject, and Sir Isaac Walpole arose TO
remark that he was making progress. Up to
year ago he didn't know that seven persons
and dog sleeping in an Sx10 room with all
the windows down and the doors closed was
injurious to the human system. He supposed
the feeling of languor was brought on by nom
circulation of blood in the feet.
Whalebone Howker had also progressed.
He had now learned the difference between
the smell of gunpowder and sewer gas and
the lives of his thirteen children were no
longer in peril
Pickles Smith used to wash his feet once in
six months. Now he felt conscience stricken
If a week passed over his head that he didn't
heat up a boiler Of water and soak up his
pedals. His five dogs used to sleep in the
house. Now they either made their beds in
the doorway or stood up against the wood
shed door,
Judge Chewso had slept in a room with six
other persons, a barrel of soft soap, three
dogs, an old Goldfish and a hmburger cheese,
but he had progressed He used to wake up
In the morning and charge politicians with
seeking to poison him, but now he realized
that it was his ignorance of sanitary precau-
tons
Several other members spoke in the same
strain. and related vivid personal experiences,
and the president finally said:
"De Seckretary will answer to de effeck dat
